DFhacks estimate shows how much there is and it is relatively exact. It does not show adamantine with "reveal"-"prospect", you need to use "reveal hell"-"prospect. Adamantine tubes are blacked out with using just "reveal", to prevent a problem where "reveal" unleashed the HFS in previous versions.
You do not need to reveal prior to prospecting - as already stated several times, you just need to run "prospect all" so that it counts unrevealed tiles.

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

I know that. Someone was talking about not seeing adamantine with prospect, so I thought it might have to do with reveal blacking out stuff.
